Well, I wrote that back in January.
It's much warmer now, so maybe you should give it another go?
(-;
Seriously, though, has the ActiveX Xtra been updated since January?
Not to my knowledge.

Is this still true that the activeX control xtra does is not compatible with
the Autodesk DWF viewer?

It seems this control isn't compatible with Dir.
Have you thought about embedding the control in a local web page, and use
WebXtra to view it?
It works, I just tried it.
Some functions didn't work so well, though (I viewed a 3D model from the sample
files, it may work better with 2D drawings).
1. The Home button didn't restore the initial view.
2. The View History didn't work - threw up an error alert.

Will the user be able to load images (DWF:s), or is this a fixed setup?
If the user will load images, you can use a template page and insert the
required properties.
Here is a sample page with the control embedded, viewing the file, "ArborPress3D.dwf"
from the folder "Sample files".

The Stage was set to 640x480 with WebXtra covering the Stage.
If you take this path, this free utility may be of help.
